The Haskins-Mayne Case


The answer of the defendant in the P
W. Haskins-M ayne suits in the district
court at Davenport puts an entirely diff
ferent phase on the case. Mr.. Mayne
charges that the whole affair is simply an
attempt at blackmsil. He AYERS that
Hasklns had a horse which was pretty
good one; that he (Mayne) took the
horse, agreeing to pay $3.50 per week as
long as he chose to keep him, but that he
could turn the horse back at any time if
he proved TO be Of no account as race
horse, When Mayne's driver tried the
horse he informed his employer that the
horse was not tit for the class to which he
was eligible Mayne so informed the
plaintiff, and asked where the horse
should be delivered. The reply was
Davenport. Defendant had paid plain
tiff $3.50, and gave him $40 more, where
upon he went to the clerks office anC
cancelled the agreement which was OF
file, and marked it paid in full" WheI
Mr.. Mayne heard of the suit he was per
fectly astonished. There are other mat
tiers connected with the case which Mr.
Mayne ayers makes it appear very mucI
like ingratitude. He declares his inten
ton to fight the case to the bitter end

A SPLENDID WORK.

H.. A SPLENDID WORK..
Mr.. Charles Eckhard, treasurer OF
The American Secular Union, has pub
lished THE NINE DEMANDS in a more
attractive form than any in which they
have yet appeared. At the head Of an
engraving on heavy plate paper, 2lxI9
inches, are cabinet sized 1ikenesses OF
Jefferson. Washington and Paine, the
fathers of our republic. At the sides
are Franklin and John Adams, and
between these two are printed the
Nine Demands of the American Secu-
lar Union in conspicuous type. At the
foot are Lafayette, Girard and lnger-
soil, making eight likenesses in all.
Inscribed beneath each portrait is
some radical sentiment quoted from
the author pictured over it. In the
space between the portraits aud around
them are arabesques of vines and flow
ers in profusi0n. and the panel inclos.
ing the Nine Demands is surmounted
on each corner by Mr.. Eckhard's> de.
sign of the flag above the cross. The
whole makes an exceedingly handsome
work for framing. The artistic part
is equal to the best, and the portraits
| are as true to nature as the photo
graphs from which they were trans
ferred. The design will be sent post

Henry George, after looking Eng
land. Ireland and Scotland over, de-
clared that there was no "over-popula-
tion" in Great Britain, and that there
was land enough there, if properly
used, to feed all and more than the
empire contains. But when one Earl
must keep seventy miles of land for
his own pleasure grounds and parks,
and scores of other titled men must
hold vast tracts from production, Ire
land must be starved and depopulated.

From friends in Illinois we learn
that hay is very scarce, pastures all

have to burn grass all along their
routes to prevent setting fires.
There are great many 'hoppers,
beetles, bugs and INSECTS of all kinds,
but not enough To seriously damage

any chinch bugs. though there are
many that closely resemble them in
